Water Savings — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Here's the thing about Marietta backyards: they're either baking in the sun near Kennesaw Mountain or tucked under those massive oak canopies that define East and West Cobb. Both scenarios create challenges for traditional grass—especially when you're watering through Georgia's dry spells and still dealing with patchy, muddy spots come fall. A putting green isn't just about the golf shot (though that's a nice bonus). It's about reclaiming your yard without the weekly mowing, fertilizer runoff, and the constant battle against our red clay soil. We've installed putting greens across all the Marietta ZIP codes—30060 through 30068—and the water savings alone usually surprise homeowners. You're looking at zero irrigation needs once it's down, which matters when your water bill climbs every summer. The surface stays playable year-round, never turns into a mud pit after rain, and honestly, it becomes the reason neighbors actually want to visit your place instead of just waving from the driveway.
Cobb County's red clay is dense and doesn't drain like you'd want for a natural lawn—which actually works in your favor with artificial turf. That clay base gives you a solid, stable foundation that won't shift or settle unevenly. The real variable here is shade. If your lot backs up to one of those mature oak groves common in Whitlock or parts of East Cobb, you've got dappled light most of the day, which means zero algae concerns and a cooler playing surface in summer. Full-sun yards near the Marietta Square area heat up more, so we spec slightly different infill products depending on your exposure. Most residential lots here run 400–800 square feet for a putting green, which is the sweet spot—intimate enough for practice, large enough to get real variety into green contours and slope work. We account for proper drainage toward your existing yard runoff, and since Cobb County doesn't have strict HOA turf bans like some areas, you're usually clear to go. Installation typically takes 3–5 days depending on grading needs.
Absolutely. Shade from mature oaks is actually ideal—it keeps the surface cooler and eliminates algae growth that you'd see in full sun. The main thing is making sure we clear leaves regularly so the drainage holes stay open. We've done dozens across East Cobb and Whitlock with great results. If anything, shade-heavy yards need less maintenance.
Zero irrigation after installation. A natural lawn in Marietta needs roughly 1–1.5 inches weekly during growing season—that's hundreds of gallons. Artificial turf needs only occasional rinsing to keep dust down. Most homeowners see their outdoor water bill drop 30–50% in the first summer alone, which adds up fast in Georgia's heat.
Not at all—it's actually preferable. Red clay compacts and holds firm, giving turf a stable base that won't settle or shift. We add proper grading and a sub-base layer to ensure water moves away from the playing surface. Cobb County's clay is one reason our Marietta installs tend to look perfect for years.
Yes. We're based just 12 minutes away, so turnaround is fast. Most Marietta projects go from site visit to finished green in 1–2 weeks, depending on weather and any grading work your lot needs. We handle permits and drainage planning so you don't have to.
